Chapter 3. Administrator Utility

Group Management

Super administrators can create up to 256 groups on the KM0832, as well as modify and delete those groups. Grouping users together simplifies port management by enabling actions to be performed that affect a whole group of users, rather than only one. (You can still use the User Management Webpage to change individual user account settings. See User Management, page 46.)

All group management operations start from the Group Management Webpage. It shows all groups that have been created on the KM0832 and provides options for creating new groups and modifying or deleting existing groups.

Adding Groups

To add a new group:

1.If you are not logged in to the KM0832 Administrator Utility, then open the KM0832 Login page and login. The KM0832 Administrator Utility Main Screen will appear.

2.From the Administration menu, choose Account Management > Group Management. If no groups have been created the No Local Groups Webpage appears.

3.Click New. The Group Information Webpage appears.

4.In the Group Name field enter the name of the group you wish to create. Group names are case-sensitive and limited to a maximum of 15 characters.

5.From the list of ports, choose the type of access the group should have to each port. If there are any cascaded KM0832 stations, you can grant access
